Draw Something

Draw Something is shaping up to be one of the most downloaded apps ever — more
than 30m people have installed it in just six weeks on Apple and Android
devices. The game borrows heavily from Pictionary, as you’re given words and
have to draw pictures to represent them. You’re playing not with a computer
but other people online: friends on Facebook and Twitter, or random
strangers — the choice is yours. The object is to guess one another’s
drawings to earn virtual coins you can spend on extra features and hints.
Draw Something is more of a social app than a game: the satisfaction is in
the interaction with other people rather than competing for high scores.
It’s the most ferocious time-thief of 2012 so far.
